Johannesburg Backyard Flower Farm
Home Grown Flowers
Fern & Wild is a regenerative backyard urban flower farm tucked into a garden in Randburg. We believe even a small piece of land can become something extraordinary—a productive garden filled with flowers, pollinators, fragrance and life.
Micro Urban Flower Farm
Rooted in Johannesburg
By choosing locally grown flowers, grown using organic principles and regenerative practices, you are supporting a small Johannesburg business while shortening the journey between the garden and your home.
Your flowers spend less time being transported and stored—and more time where they belong: bringing beauty to your space or special day.
Plus... it's amazing how much you can squeeze in on a small amount of land.
Cut Flower Bouquets
Small Farm.
Abundant Flowers.
Fern & Wild may be small, but that is part of what makes it special.
Growing on a micro scale allows us to choose flowers for their character, fragrance, colour and movement—not simply for their ability to survive weeks of shipping. We can harvest in small batches, follow each crop closely, grow using organic principles and regenerative practices, and create bouquets that feel personal and connected to the garden.
What we offer:
- Wholesale Flowers
- Flowers by the Bucket
- Bulk Flowers for DIY
- Seasonal Cut Flower Bouquets
- Flower Bouquet Subscriptions
- Cut Flower Seeds for Sale
